By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by the provisions of paragraph Eighth of subdivision SECOND of section 2 of the Civil Service Act of January 16, 1885 (22 Stat. 405, 404), it is hereby ordered that the maximum age limit for entrance to examinations under civil-service rules be waived to permit William H. Klunk and William H. Bierhalter to compete in the pending civil-service examinations for the positions of chief engineman and watchman, respectively, custodial service, Columbus, Odo, in which positions they have been serving satisfactorily under extended temporary appointments. This order is issued on the recommendation of the Civil Service Commission because these employees reached the maximum age limit before the announcement of the examinations, which was delayed on account of pressure of work. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT The White House, July 19, 1935.
